drink lots of cool water, and wrap your throat with warm towels, and go to bed until the meds start working.

Gargling with warm salt water always gives me relief from sore throat pain. Hope you feel better very quickly!

My grandmother always gave me some hot tea with a shot of whiskey and some honey. I don't know if it made me feel better or just not care that I felt bad, but it worked.

Chloraseptic spray helps some, but for me the best remedy is cup after cup of hot tea with a little bit of honey. I usually buy the sampler boxes that have five or six different types of herbal tea in them so I don't get sick of one flavor :) The warmth and the smoothness is really soothing, just make sure you're drinking caffeine free tea or else you'll be up all night! For me, when my throat is killing me (I had swollen tonsils a few months ago...not cool, I feel your pain and hope you feel better soon), I drink one cup first thing in the morning when I get up and that gets me back to feeling almost human, and then I usually need one or two more cups throughout the day to continue to soothe it. Good luck!

Ice cream should do the trick. I saw a few answers to other questions here on the site that stated it would help.
